Mentoring

You will face many challenges along the way as a student. These include starting out at university, everyday life as a student, dealing with exams, and making the transition from university to the working world. Students usually deal better with these situations if they have someone they can turn to for help and advice: mentors can fulfill this role.

TU Berlin offers mentoring programs for a range of target groups at different stages of their studies. Detailed information regarding our mentoring programs can be found below. Anyone who feels a mentoring program is for them should contact the appropriate program coordinator.

We would like to hear from you whether you are looking for support as a mentee or wish to offer your services as a mentor!
